The previews of this tell an autobiographical story of how an unsuspecting bar tender named Donny (Richard Gadd) fells somewhat sorry for an overweight, older woman who comes into his bar crying. He's nice to her and she instantly bonds to him in an unhealthy way. Ito goes on for quite some time before he reports it. The lag in time for his reporting is explained in the series so I won't go into it here.
The things I liked about it.
1. The acting of the leads. Richard Gadd was ok, but Jessica Gunning carried the movie.
2. The first 4 episodes were good, then it sort of went from a dark comedy to just dark.
3. I haven't seen someting quite like this before 4. The ending and not in a sarcastic way, it ended kind of nicely for me.
The things I didn't like.
1. The character of Donny. He makes stupid decisions and then when whines about why his life sucks. Hello!
2. The actress who played Teri wasn't a very good actress.
3. This didn't need to be a mini-series. The whole story could have been told in an hour and a half movie.
If you're a member of the LGBTQ+ or a woman or identify as a woman, you may like this story better than those not in any of those communities. It's definitely not a family series so don't invite the kids.
